I was goofing off in the afternoon when I should have been working yesterday. Around 3:30 I spotted a listing on Craigslist for a Final Fight game. It was listed for $20, and said it wasn’t working and probably had a loose connection. By then the listing was a little over an hour old, and I figured I probably wouldn’t catch it in time. I had tried to get similar deals quick and was beat by other buyers. I called anyway, and it was still available!

I drove 2 hours to pick this puppy up in Winchester MA. Got it home, popped the back off, and found the loose connection.

I put the board back where it should be, adjusted the voltage on the power supply and it came up. The monitor needed to be adjusted. Once I did that, it worked perfectly. Not bad for $20!

Here are some pics of it in the game room, after I put a bulb in the marquee and coin return buttons. :)
